This canopy installation was made with a set of fabrics treated with dying techniques based on plants and mushrooms. Different elements of natural and technological origin constitute the decor of a hybrid game between video game and board game activated during game sessions. The installation is an opportunity to live an immersive experience responding to the actions of the players. Each player embodies, on the screen, non-human entities (micro-organism, plant, animal, techno-sphere, mineral or the unknown) and participates collectively in the construction of a more or less habitable environment.
